That’s not an original photo. I found it somewhere on the Internet. Anyway, my brother wrote something for his blog about the television show “Heroes,” and I thought that it was fantastic, so I asked him if I could post it on here, since we’ve been discussing the show’s merit for some time now. I…

Call me what you will, but the original Blade film is one of the coolest comic book movies yet made. No, it’s nowhere near the rarefied air of the Spider-Man flicks, Batman Begins, Superman Returns and the first couple X-Men.
